So where have we been, you ask?
Well, we’ve been busy building and developing the brand and marketing materials for a cool startup business in Toronto, Canada called Canadian Standard Home Services (www.canadian-standards.ca).

This startup company focuses on helping homeowners reduce their home’s carbon footprint while providing innovative solutions for their home while reducing costs. Not bad, huh?

Take a look at just some of the things we’ve been busy creating for them!

Check out this banner we designed for the Annual Boys & Girls Club Basketball Tournament that went down this past weekend! Hanging around all these kids having fun really brought me back to my younger days!

What have we been up to, you ask?
Aside from helping our friends at the recent Can I Live? event with their flyers and online media, we just finished designing some labels for something really cool…. Medical marijuana edibles by GloSweetTreats.com!
Check it out! Pretty legit eh? We just submitted them for print and we’re so excited to see how they all turn out!

Our first review is of a 3-track debut EP by an artist called Grace-Attalie. The album is called Introspection (EP).

The album starts off with some beautifully laced female vocal harmonies singing in a capella that instanly captures your attention in the track, Lion. Grace-Attalie kicks off her verse in what seems to be her signature shaky European-sounding voice in this African-inspired, electronic beat. The song is laced with some great harmonies and the music has a great rhythm, though the drums could sound a little more powerful in the mix. Overall, a great start to the EP.

The second track, Rock Climbing, is in contrast a country-style rock track, almost Shania Twain-ish. Grace-Attalie again delivers some great harmonies and gives a great vocal performance, on a basic and simple rock rhythm that could have a stronger drum track.

Introversion is the final song on the album, and begins with some bass synths and a digital guitar sound that’s commonly associated with default preset instruments within the FL Studio music workstation. The instrument choices tend to give this song a “demo” type of feel, though Grace-Attalie once again delivers a solid vocal performance and some of her smooth harmonies.

This is an EP with 3 very different sounding tracks, and doesn’t feel like one cohesive album. It feels more like a demo album, displaying Grace-Attalie’s versatility in the styles she is experimenting with. It sounds like Grace-Attalie is still finding her way musically and this album definitely displays some of her vocal abilities, but generally, the songs seem under-produced, leaving me wanting more. The writing is pretty good, but the songs seem to lack a memorable hook and the strength to match Grace-Attalie’s powerful vocals.

Altogether, this is a solid debut project and I’m excited to see what Grace-Attalie’s signature sound will become and what direction she’ll take in her upcoming releases.
